K-Rob and Quad driver Doug Paiva practice their timing Saturday morning, Aug. 13, for tonight's backflip attempt at Kennedy Plaza in Providence.
Four-time X Games BMX gold medalist Kevin Robinson will come out of his 2013 retirement to attempt to break another BMX World Record in the city where X Games began in 1995. In this first World Record attempt of a no handed backflip on a BMX bike, Robinson will reach speeds of 50 miles per hour in his attempt to soar at least 100 feet.
The event is free to the public. For more information, see K-Rob Flips Providence.
